"the1975..com" - Weird Google Glitch Shows Old Text Messages
a Reddit user noticed that when he accidentally typed an extra period into a google search for "the1975..com" instead of a search result, he received a page showing his text messages.
For some reason that particular string of characters – not the band by the same name or the real URL with just one “.” – brings up a user’s text messages in the Google app.
Some will get a result, others do not.
Owners of other Android devices made by OnePlus, Samsung, LG and Huawei also reported seeing the issue. Type “the1975..com” into the Google app on your Android phone and see what happens. The same happens with "vizel viagens" The strange bug was found by a Reddit user, who quickly found they weren’t the only one experiencing the magical appearance of text messages.
Meanwhile English rock band The 1975 above is probably not aware of the effect of this mistyped URL :) - Photograph: Mat Hayward

"The1975..com" doesn't work for me on my N7+ (Oreo 8.1 with May 2018 security update), but typing "vizel viagens" gives my text messages. Weird.

Nothing for me here either
vizelviagens works. Though the Google search app doesn't have access to my device so it turns up nothing

Is it real or some kind of Social Engineering attempt on DDOS?
